Similar to Chrome and Edge, you can install websites as apps through the browser. How can I use something like Visual Studio to create an installer that will similarly install webpages as apps (about 3 at once) BUT use a chromium/chrome/edge web-engine as I believe Visual Studio would by default use the IE Trident engine?

As far as I know, we could try to create a Setup for a Web Application, you could check these links:

Create Installer (Setup) File for Asp.net Web Application

Step by Step Guide to Create a Setup for a Web Application.

To use Edge web engine or Edge-Chromium engine display web page, in my opinion, we could use WebView control (EdgeHTML) or WebView2 control (Edge Chromium)

According to your description, it seems that you want to create an installer or setup, by using it, it will open the Web page using chrome web-engine. If that is the case, I think you could try to create a windows apps and use Webview or Webview2 to display the web page.

  • I'm 2 reps behind from 15 so my upvote hasn't shown aha! But this is perfect, I wanted to create 3 web apps based on 3 sites but have one installer install them all running in separate windows but ideally sharing resources to save space – user3392493 Apr 15 '20 at 16:07
